Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1714 — from the Prophet ﷺ that he ﷺ said: Allah
وَعَنْ دَاوُدَ الطَّائِيِّ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنِ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ . عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- قَالَ : I " قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : السَّيِّئَةُ وَاحِدَةٌ أَوْ أَغْفِرُ ، وَالْحَسَنَةُ عَشْرٌ أَوْ أَزِيدُ . وَمَنْ جَاءَنِي بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطِيئَةً لَيْسَ يُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئًا ، جَعَلْتُهَا لَهُ مَغْفِرَةً ، وَمَنْ دَنَا مِنِّي شِبْرًا دَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ ذِرَاعًا ، وَمَنْ دَنَا مِنِّي ذِرَاعًا دَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ بَاعًا ، وَمَنْ أَتَانِي يَمْشِي أَتَيْتُهُ هَرْوَلَةً .
Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: 'An evil deed is only one (that is, one is recorded for one), or I forgive it; and a good deed is tenfold, or I increase it even more. Whoever comes to Me with an earthful of sins, provided that he does not associate anything with Me, I make for him an equal amount of forgiveness. Whoever draws near to Me by a hand-span, I draw near to him by a forearm's length; whoever draws near to Me by a forearm's length, I draw near to him by an arm-span (the stretch of both arms); and whoever comes to Me walking, I come to him hurrying.'"
